A further suggestion which may be of use is to use the comports on a unix box to attach to the MAX console, in conjunction with a telephone-controlled power outlet for those really 'special' crashes. I think Black Box or one of those specialty telephone catalogs carries them - you dial up, give a password, and it allows you to power on/off whatever's plugged in by remote. They aren't that expensive either, from what I recall.
Hope this helps,
